Questions from the Community

What needs improvement with Adobe Connect?
I would like to see btter integration and better features on integrating, especially in the UI, because it's so obvious when you use Adobe Connect.
What is your primary use case for Adobe Connect?
Adobe Connect is not bad for connecting and integrating for remote connecting and video streaming. I think it was not bad, actually. I don't integrate it in my project. Some other guys work on that...
